Built up my PC yesterday, all running OK.
After advice here it’s based on a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master & AMD R9 7900

I now have 3 cables yet to fit.
2 x Thermistor Cables
1 x Noise detection cable.

I know where they plug on the Motherboard, no problem with that.

Q1 .. where do I put the Thermistors, and how do I attach them ?

Q2 … I understand this Noise Detection cable is to work with reducing fan noise, but really you want fans the fans to work as effective as needs be, not throttled by noise … do most people just not bother fitting this.

I have temp sensors on both vrm heatsinks, the chipset heatsink and one inside a memory heatsink but mine are connected to a fan controller with temp display. Never even heard of a noise detection sensor coming with a motherboard and like you say, I would rather the fans work as intended rather than be throttled because they hit s certain noise threshold. If fan noise were to be a problem all you need to do is adjust the fan curves to control the speed for a given temperature.

How did you affix the thermistors to the heatsink ? .... these come as just bare bead thermistors, so will need some form of mechanical fixing, tape, glue, etc.
 
Noise sensor as already mentioned
Bit pointless to me
You set your fan curves for temp/noise balance

Even the temp sensors I don't bother with
Things like aida64, hwinfo etc
Give you loads of info from built in sensors
Only thing I have a temp sensor on
Is my coolant
But yes stick on with glue gun etc

I used a tiny bit of black high density foam to jam the thermistor up against the fins of the heatsinks. The one inside the heatspreader on the DDR5 is a flat one so it's just inserted through a gap in the heatspreader but it reads fine.
